Trump’s Assault on 250 Years of American Progress
President Trump’s administration is undertaking a sweeping restructuring of numerous federal agencies and programs, many with histories spanning decades or even centuries. This includes attempts to privatize or significantly alter institutions like the US Postal Service and the Internal Revenue Service, as well as challenging established legal precedents regarding citizenship and environmental regulations. The proposed changes encompass significant cuts to funding for research, international aid, and social programs, often met with legal challenges and opposition from various stakeholders. Furthermore, the administration is pursuing policies that significantly shift the focus and function of agencies like the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and the Environmental Protection Agency.
